Kiyotaka Ijichi drove his black car, carrying Xia Jie and Megumi Fushiguro toward Mountain Whisper Hotel. He secretly glanced at Xia Jie and Megumi Fushiguro in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The two had barely exchanged a word since getting in, making Kiyotaka Ijichi start to wonder whether their personalities simply clashed.

Although Xia Jie held some favorable feelings toward Megumi Fushiguro based on the original story, he really had nothing in particular to discuss with him.
Xia Jie knew Megumi Fushiguro's background and abilities very well. Talking to him about those things
